LETTER TO THE HONOURABLE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA BY FNPO AND ITS AFFILIATED UNIONS / ASSOCIATIONS.
To
Shri Narendra Modiji,
Hon’ble Prime Minister of India,
South Block,
Raisina Hill,
New Delhi-l10011
Respected Sir,
We, the Federation of National
Postal Organisation and its affiliated unions submit this letter to
express our deep concern and request to honour the commitment given by
the Group of Ministers in the meetings held with JCM (Staff Side)
leaders on 30th June 2016 & 06th July 2016.
Subsequently, an assurance was given
that a High-Level Committee will examine the 7th CPC issues, mainly the
Minimum Wage and Multiplying Factor. Based on the assurance, the JCM
Constituent deferred the Strike action on 06th July 2016.
Though a Committee was constituted
under the chairmanship of Addl. Secretary (Exp), Ministry of Finance and
discussions held, the response has been disappointing.
The employees of the Postal and
other Central Government employees are greatly disappointed over the
non-settlement of the main issues.
More so, many of the recommendations
of the 7th CPC have created unrest in the minds of Central government
employees in general and Postal employees in particular.
The issues raised after the implementation of 7th CPC & other long pending issues are enclosed.
We request your kind attention to the issues listed in the enclosure and action thereof at the earliest.
Thanking you, sir,
Yours Sincerely,
S-d
THE ISSUES RAISED AFTER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF 7TH CPC & OTHER LONG PENDING ISSUES
1. Request to Settle the demands raised
by NJCA regarding modifications of 7th CPC recommendations as submitted
in the memorandum to Cabinet Secretary on 10th December 2015. Honour
the assurance given by the Group of Ministers to NJCA on 30th June 2016
and 6th July 2016, especially the increase in minimum wage and fitment
factor. Grant revised HRA, at the existing percentage itself, i.e. 30%,
20% and 10%. Accept the proposal of the staff side regarding Transport
Allowance. Settle all anomalies arising out of the implementation of 7th
CPC recommendations, in a time bound manner.
2. Request to Implement option-I
recommended by 7th CPC and accepted by the Government regarding parity
in pension of pre-2016 pensioners, without any further delay. Settle the
pension related issues raised by NJCA against item 13 of its memorandum
submitted to Cabinet Secretary on 10th December 2015.
3. Request to Scrap PFRDA Act and New
Pension System (NPS) and grant pensions and Family Pension to all
Central Government employees recruited after 01.01.2004, under CCS
(Pension) Rules 1972.
4. Request to Treat Gramin Dak Sewaks
of Postal department as Civil Servants, and extend all benefits like
pay, pension, allowances etc. of departmental employees to GDS.

contract, part-time, contingent and Daily rated mazdoors and grant equal
pay and other benefits. Revise the wages as per 7th CPC minimum pay

7. Request to Withdraw the arbitrary
decision of the Government to enhance the benchmark for performance
appraisal for promotion and financial upgradations under MACP from
“GOOD” to VERY GOOD” and also decided to withhold annual increments in
the case of those employees who are not able to meet the bench march
either for MACP or for regular promotion within the first 20 years of
service. Grant MACP pay fixation benefits on promotional hierarchy and
not on pay-matrix hierarchy. Personnel promoted on the basis of
examination should be treated as a fresh entrance to the cadre for grant
of the MACP.

56 (J) and Rule 48 of CCs (Pension) Rules 1972 which is being misused as
a shortcut as a purity measure to punish and victimize the employees.
